[R] Problem installing packages

[ripley@stats.ox.ac.uk]

Unfortunately that information is for the `darwin' version of R, not the
Carbon version.

There appears to be a binary of an obselete version of tree (not Tree,
BTW) for the Carbon version in

http://cran.r-project.org/bin/macos/contrib/rm141/

Do check the Readme.txt in the directory above.
